What does it mean to NOT dress like Kate? Recently have been in London in late May and early June several years in a row, often seems to be a garden party going on - one time it was very windy and all the ladies were lined up waiting to get in , clutching their hats with one hand, and trying to keep their skirts down with the other

Sounds like a precarious situation for the ladies! I’ll show everyone the most recent dress I had in mind for this - I think I will be swinging by the store tomorrow to shop for another friend and can try it on while I’m there!
 
How do I get one of these invites? There have been so many dresses I’ve loved but have had no where to wear them! They always prompt me to say “if only I had a tea party at Buckingham Palace!” [emoji23]
For UK citizens, I understand one has to have contributed significantly in some way to the country to be invited as a Thank You by the Queen. The other invitations go out through diplomatic connections.

I meant her footwear as she tends to wear high heels which I cannot manage on grass or gravel. Yes I was one of those ladies with hand on hat!

I wanted to chime in on the bracelet conversation. I love all kinds of bracelets and wear them every day. I have small wrists and only buy one's that I can easily get on and off myself. You would think jewelry designers would get this....that function is a required element. I picked up this bracelet a couple of days ago and because of the large lobster clasp, it is a breeze to manage. I fell in love with the iridescent lilac color and the soft gold hardware, which blends well with other metals, imo. Here is a shot from yesterday, with my new Chanel bracelet paired with my Monica Vinader white gold bracelet.

Dress Up Friday - I’m trying it a different way since the lighting is so bad at home... this is brighter but I’m not sure if it’s better.
Also including a ‘watch’ shot for @papertiger [emoji4]

Doesn’t really go with what I’m wearing but the watch that does is out getting a new battery and a good cleaning.

Chic. I like the clean lines of the skirt especially.

One of my fav scarves! Twins on that! love your beautiful blue top, naturally! And nice watch!
 
@Dextersmom, we are watch twins on the SS MOP. @Cookiefiend , excellent taste in watches :smile:
Thank you! It still looks new even though its about 20 years old now... :flowers:

Of course I didn’t photograph my nice dressy outfit yesterday - only my casual, running-around look which, for me, actually requires more effort:

Thank you - it's just a J Jill - but super comfortable. :flowers:

Thank you!
I can never decide if this is blue or purple - but I love it and the cool-tone greens!
